After being announced last year, we now have the first teaser trailer to the Joe Dante-produced Camp Cold Brook, a new film from The Funhouse Massacre director Andy Palmer.

Danielle Harris (Halloween 4,5, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, Hatchet II) stars in the film alongside another horror vet, Chad Michael Murray, who appeared in the excellent House of Wax remake.

In the film:

“Murray stars as reality TV producer and host Jack Wilson, who finds himself in a tough spot when his show is about to be canceled. In a last-ditch effort to spark ratings, he and his producer Angela (Harris) choose to film their next episode at the legendary Camp Cold Brook, which was host to a horrific incident where the young campers were drowned in a nearby creek 20 years ago. Their arrival begins like any other episode… but the TV crew find that they get more than they bargained for.”

We end this week’s look at Emmy nominees that you might have missed with HBO’s “The Tale,” starring Laura Dern as real-life documentary filmmaker Jennifer Fox, who recovers a traumatic childhood memory, shard by jagged shard. “The Tale,” streaming on HBOGo, is impossible to watch, impossible not to, and if that seems like contradictory viewing counsel, then take it in the spirit intended....

HBO announced Monday the Laura Dern-starring Sundance breakout - which it acquired out of the Park City, Utah festival for a reported $7 million in January - will premiere Saturday, May 26 at 8 p.m. ET on the subscription network. It also debuted a short trailer for the project teasing roughly 15 seconds of footage.

A source pegged the deal at $7 million, which makes the film one of the biggest price tags of the festival (only Neon/AGBO's Assassination Nation eclipsed that at just north of $10 million). It was an interesting move for HBO, which almost never picks up a finished narrative feature, opting for homegrown fare instead (HBO does acquire finished documentaries).

“The Tale,” a provocative Laura Dern movie about sexual power dynamics, premiered to a standing ovation. Three days into the festival, it’s by far the standout jewel ― an absorbing, articulate capsule that underscores the dynamics unfolding in the days of #MeToo....

“The Tale”

The Tale

After decades of documenting powerful women and their stories, docu filmmaker made the jump into narrative for her first time in May of 2016. An investigative thriller with a name cast, there is a lot of look forward to with The Tale.

Inspired by real characters from the award-winning book “Sex Trafficking” by Harvard professor Siddharth Kara, Will Wallace’s “Trafficked” follows a trio of intertwining stories about young women forced into the world of human, organ, drug, and gun trafficking. The film focuses on three girls — from America, Nigeria, and India — who, though horrific experiences in the trafficking world, end up as sex slaves in a Texas brothel.
